Adoption of new programming languages is always an uphill struggle. The majority of companies will exercise a lot of caution around their technology stack because they are anticipating (rightly or wrongly) difficulties hiring staff who can work with the programming language.

I think this causes a big push towards adoption of a already popular tools, until those popular tools cause significant issues. There's a weird kind of loop there where "it's not used much" is the reason something isn't used much but those cycles can be pretty tough to break.
